I now have enough Okoume plywood on hand for the Wood Duck 10 and an Eastport Pram. The plywood is only an hour away, so there are no shipping costs except for a ferry ride and some of my own time. For anyone on Vancouver Island, BC, I got the plywood from Westwind Hardwood Inc. near the Pat Bay Airport, just across from Sidney. They were very helpful and had the plywood all ready to go when I arrived. While I got what I thought was a good price for the plywood, there was no price advantange in getting the plywood for the PocketShip at the same time, so I don't have to worry about storing it until I'm ready for it.
http://www.westwindhardwood.com I obtained Cell-O-Fill from CLC as well as some deck hatches. Wood flour, micro-balloons, copper wire, rollers, as well as fibreglass cloth and tape came from Noah's in Toronto. I had already obtained some West System fillers locally. I should have enough FG cloth and fillers on hand to see right through to the completion of the PocketShip. So far, I can purchase epoxy locally for the same price I would be paying elsewhere, so I don't have to pay shipping charages on it.
http://www.noahsboatbuilding.comPreviously, I had picked up a random orbital scander, cordless circular saw, cordless jigsaw and a router, followed by a thickness planer. More recently, I obtained a hand-held electric planer, a belt sander and a vacuum cleaner. I can connect the vacuum hose directly the sander, but I want to try "pe-filtering" the dust from the sander in a bucket of water before it gets to the vacuum cleaner.
While I did the scarf joints for the Argie 10 that I'm working on with a router and a jig, I'll consider doing them with a planer and belt sander next time around. I'll practise on some scrap plywood first though.
